I'm Currently Feeling:  | Folic Acid
Ok sorry yet another question. Should I be taking this whilst TTC. And are there any other supplements I should be having?
Thanks

| Yes, you should definitley be taking 400 micrograms a day of folic acid - from when you start trying to the 12th week of pregnancy.
You don't need anything else, but personally I'm taking pregnacare - which you can take through conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains the folic acid and I figured it can't hurt! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Never knew about getting it from the doctor. I bought some in Boots on Saturday for about £2.50 I think, pack contained 56 pills. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Is that because you are trying to conceive or is it with a prescription? |
